How should schools respond to student substance use?

Research shows suspension isn’t the most effective way to deter or address student substance use and may increase it. A health-centered response works better. It pairs clear expectations with a supportive conversation with a trusted adult, screening, education, and referral to counseling and family support, if needed. This keeps students connected to school, one of the strongest protections against continued or escalated use.

In this webinar, participants will explore the practices and benefits of a health-centered approach to responding to student substance use rather than a punitive one.

This one-hour virtual webinar will start at 3pm ET on Monday, November 9, 2026.
